Over on Don's blog, he had some nice things to say about the movie "Once". I absolutely agree with him. It feels like no movie that I've ever seen before. The characters make choices and do things that I couldn't predict. It doesn't end the way that you think it's going to end. It has smaller aspirations than your average love story.
It's absolutely worth seeing. The music in it is amazing.
Don posted a clips video with the song "Falling Slowly" on his blog. And while it was good to see, it REALLY made me want to just see the scene from the movie again. The moment when the guy and the girl REALLY started to connect as they sang one of his songs. Beyond two people who are physically attracted to each other, they realize, in turn that they're actually physically attracted to an artist and a beautiful person. That's what's happening here.
God Bless the Youtube for giving me the complete scene. Here it is...
Also, after a bit of legal wrangling, this song, "Falling Slowly" is elegible for the Best Song Academy Award. I sincerely hope that it wins. (In fact, this is probably the only award that I actually care about in this year's nominees.)
You should probably see this movie now.
Cheers,
Mr.B

The more I think about this movie, the more I wished I owned it and can't wait to see it again. It's so patient, unselfconscious, and unpretentious.There is a powerful beauty about it that feels real, not fictionalized. It is one of those rare moments when you experience a genuine love and artistic connection between two people. (hmmm...not that I know what that's like at all :-) THanks for this lovely clip, babe.
